Marshon Lattimore. 6. player. 30. All indications these days point to CB Darrelle Revis being released by the New York Jets soon. So the Jets should be looking for a young stud at the CB position in this draft. And there just so happens to be one that fits the man-to-man, bump-and-run scheme. <p>HC Todd Bowles likes to blitz a lot so such a CB is the ideal pick here at No. 6 overall. At 6’1″, 200 pounds, Marcus Lattimore has the size, speed length and strength just for that. So he is a great bump and run CB and can disrupt WR’s routes consistently.</p> <p>He also has quick feet and fluid hips to flip and mirror so he rarely gets caught out of position. It would have been nice if Revis had a couple of more good years left to mentor Lattimore. But that’s a lot of money to pay a mentor so he has likely played his last down as a Jet.</p> <p>Then Lattimore eventually takes Revis spot and the Jets can continue their style of defense.. Combined with the solid front-seven they have, the defense could be tough in 2017. And if QB Christian Hackenberg is ready, the Jets could make a climb up the standings.</p>. CB. Ohio State
